escape your ampersands, of course.  You already have some other
ampersands correctly escaped, so you presumably know how.

There's a serious bug in the validator here: it proclaims the page
valid and highlights the unterminated entity refs as warnings
rather than errors.  That would be correct for an HTML page
(under SGML rules).  But this is an XHTML page, and under
XML rules it is of course not even wellformed, let alone valid.
